Getting fully into this new “Time Bandits” series is easier if you’ve never seen its predecessor. Though creators Jemaine Clement, Iain Morris, Taika Waititi do a good job of recreating the original intent, it’s for the love of all things Python that we watch. Letting that go will help you to just have fun in Waititi’s world, as it’s impossible to forget Gilliam’s, especially with familiar phrases like “pointed stick” coming out of nowhere on occasion. Hold onto the love you’ll feel when you hear them, but fall just as hard for this new creation, as well. If you do, you’ll have a good time.
